Shalom Freedman Poems

No matter what you have done
Dust is what you become-
Great or not
However small
...

All day long
In errands and distractions
Now finally at last
After Maariv
...

This single lonely little dot on an insignificant corner of a murky vastness of galaxies
Consider what we are as a species
Unable to speak with others
...

WE ARE THE LONELY SPECIES

We are the lonely species
Who has no other species
...

I wrote a poem of Love
I thought would never end
...

In this wide world of endless words?
A small metaphor of bliss
...

WHEN I HAVE A POEM I AM HAPPY

When I have a poem I am happy
I am where I want to be-
...

I do not know if I will ever write it again-
Life is this moment of happiness
...

No poem ever again-
Life without poetry is possible
...

Our lives are more than our minds alone
And our minds more than our brains
And we can never completely define ourselves
By electromagnetic waves.
...
